Phil Mickelson's 2013 Masters was anAaberrationa'a horrible efficiency that won't occur again for a, long time. Lefty finished in a link for 54th placea'only four players finished decrease after making the cut. It had been his worst showing at Augusta because he missed the cut in 1997. He carded a on Friday and a on Saturdaya'two of his worst models at Augusta in his career, according to ESPN's Justin Ray: That was not a normal efficiency from Mickelson at Augusta. From 1998 to 2012, Mickelson competed in 16 Masters, winning three, placing in the top 10 an astonishing 12 times and placing in the top three eight times. That is Mickelson's norm. One bad event will not define him, or will it preserve him from being one of the men demanding for the green coat in 2014. Following the event, Mickelson talked to journalists about his problems, via USA TODAY Sports: I just had an off year. I actually do not know what to share with you. I played defectively. Today was the first time that (swing coach Butch Harmon) and Ia'we had good quality direction, and I'll have something to work on these next a couple of weeks before I play at Charlotte and The Players. But this was disappointing for me in that this is my favorite invest the planet to perform. And to do similar to this is frustrating. I'm disappointed in myself because I expect a lot more of myself, out of my game and therefore forth this week. Adam Scott could be putting the green hat on Mickelson in 2014.Harry How/Getty Images It is very important to remember that Mickelson didn't participate in a tournament the week before he moved to Augusta, as is his custom. The Shell Houston Open was appointed to be played the week before this year's Masters, but a schedule change moved it up a week. This schedule change adversely impacted Mickelson's preparation for the Masters, based on Rex Hoggard of GolfChannel.com:AaI only wasnat as mentally sharp when I needed seriously to be,a Mickelson said. aI have to find still another method to plan major weeks basically canat play the week before.a People are creatures of habit. Until it does not work any more they obtain a program that works for them and stick to it. Even when it stops working, its a psychological battle to develop another game plan. There are not as much consistent success at Augusta National as Mickelson many players on the PGA Tour who've had. His reputation being in contention year in and year out at the Masters 's almost as impressive as what Padraig Harrington has done during career. Make no mistake about it: Mickelson will discover a way to return and play well at the 2014 Masters, and there's an excellent chance before he is finished he'll gain another natural coat.
